I have a good friend who's site shows just about 100k monthly unique on Compete, yet when I looked at his Google Analytics (yes he gave me access to prove it) he had north of 40k daily uniques every single day, and growing.


Based on our usage of these services, this is the range of correctness:

Google Analytics >> Alexa >> Quantcast >> Magic 8 Ball >> Compete


Analytics is off by over 100% on some of our sites compared to the logs.


Yeah its not terribly accurate, but for us, more accurate than the others.


Try GetClicky. They are pretty solid. I started using it on a site, and did not go back to GA for days at the time.
